Is anyone else using mud flaps?

I was wondering if the EV2 would experience the same issue as the EV3 did with the back end getting really dirty. My guess is yes. If that's the case, I'm curious if installing mud flaps will help.

In fact, when it rains, the EV2's upright back end becomes filthy. I had KIA mudflaps installed as part of the purchase, and I must say, they're not very practical at all! In addition to falling approximately 30 mm short of the bodywork, they barely cover half the width of the tires. In my opinion, they are grossly inadequate, so I wouldn't recommend them for the EV2 until aftermarket larger mudflaps become available.

Thank you! I was hoping they provided some protection, but I did notice that they were small. The EV2 will end up with a dirty rear end just like the EV3, which is a shame, but I suppose the spray can't be stopped from reaching that level.

The rear camera is so bad that it's practically useless after a rainy trip unless you take it outside and wipe it down. The door mirrors, however, appear to have avoided the majority of the spray, so there is that.
