Everything I've read says the 500e has liquid thermal management. I've seen several mentions of the eGolf being air cooled.

Here's a list of the cheaper (<$15k) EVs and their battery thermal management (correct me if I'm wrong):
None:
Nissan Leaf

Air cooled:
VW eGolf
Kia Soul EV (2019 and older, 2020 changed to liquid)
Mitsubishi i-Miev

Liquid cooled:
Chevy Spark EV
Fiat 500e
Smart ED
BMW i3 (refrigerant)
Ford Focus Electric
Chevy Volt (could reasonably drive 40 miles EV besides winter)
