My 2022 Volkswagen e-Up has zero thermal management of the battery, it's completely passively cooled with no heating. Not that it really matters, people have tested it and charging speed only starts to degrade after 3-4 rapid charges in one day, with "rapid" in quotes(in tops out at 40kW).

I believe the eGolf which was sold in the US shares the same drivetrain and battery.

Different drivetrain and battery for the eGolf, but both of these are effectively 2013 EVs.
