Some tenters take fan heaters, microwave and a beer fridge - so yes, quite possible.

Possible does not equate to my stated "typically".

Of course tenters can opt to carry loads of high power consuming kit, but I suggest more typically they don't. Be this wanting to keep weight down, bulk down, camping investment down or selecting to do their camping in the warmer seasons.

Don’t forget the need to charge up the EV.

I wonder how many of those items would be fitted with 16 amp industrial plugs.

It's possible to buy distribution units with a 16A plug, RCD and several 3-pin 13A sockets.

"Artic "cable, unless this description is not a definitive product seems still to feature PVC insulation & sheath.

Indeed it does however that stuff is only used on lorries

Arctic grade cable is also PVC but a different formulation to HO5VV-F to allow it to remain flexible at lower temperatures. It is also more durable and has a thicker sheath, hence it's use on building sites where it's likely to be abused. It is defined in BS EN 50265 and BS6004.

I used a Maypole 4 outlet unit. With 13 amp sockets, protection and USB outlets. Each socket had a splash proof cover. The cable length was 15m. I would hang it in the tent. But I’ve absolutely no idea what the cable specification was, and to be honest it didn’t bother me.

For use in a tent it's also possible to buy something much more suitable than a lead with a 16 amp plug on one end and a 16 amp socket on the other.

That’s almost the same as I used, except mine was 15m cable length.
