There is active battery power consumption management on the e-Golf, if you abuse it or drive it too hard or too fast, it reduces current and power to the motor, to preserve the battery and prevent damage being incurred. There is a gauge needle in the dash to indicate when this is occurring. Read your owners manual to discover it.
There is PASSIVE cooling on the battery pack when recharging. There are protection parameters too for recharging that will slow the recharging rate down, if the battery pack temperature gets too warm.
This is only a consideration when using level 3 DC Fast charge CCS type stations capable of 55 KWH recharge rates or higher. VW recommends in the 2015 e-Golf USA manual to use CCS chargng stations, at the most, only every other recharge. There must be Equalization recharges using L1 or L2 chargiing that uses the EQ charging feature in the onboard charger pack, underneath the hood, between CCS fast charges, at least in North America.
VW strongly suggests charging at home in your garage on a L1 or L2 charger, for best battery life. At those rates, you'll never have problems with the recharging rate causing the battery to be unable to shed damaging heat created while recharging.
