In theory, the electric car should require less long term maintenance as well, as there are dramatically fewer moving parts. These items wouldn't emerge in the first five years (and you probably have less to worry about in a Toyota) but eventually things just start going a little wrong, even with a healthy maintenance schedule. These mechanical failures are less likely in a simpler vehicle.
