Almost all non-Tesla EVs offer a heat pump option. Most non-Tesla EVs sold do not have one. Just go to your local VW dealer or whatever and see what the specs are on the ID.4's on the lot is.

You can easily read about your example VW MEB platform battery configurations, including built in thermal management system, online at the Munro teardown, for example.

Perhaps you are changing the topic from your original thermal management to heat pump systems specifically?

Those are different goal posts. There are other ways of heating a battery.
