At the moment in EU there's a lottery: you can be given, customers unknowing, NMC LG Chem or a NCA Panasonic.
Upon measurement with SMT, the LG Chem have also less 3,7 kWh capacity relative to the Panasonic models. But the big difference is the extremely slower speed of charge.

Here's Bjorn results, warm cars, about the speed of charge at a V3 and at Ionity for the LG Chem 2021 LR, compared to his 2019 M3:

This was not unexpected at all. Already in China, with the first delivery of MIC LR in springtime 2020, the charging speed was compared to the Panasonic M3 2019, charging them simultaneously.

As can be seen, The LG takes 12 min more to go from 30% to 80%
