Toyotas may need less repairs than other vehicles, but of course they have the same maintenance schedules and costs as other vehicles.

Compare periodic oil changes, spark plug changes, ignition coils, stolen catalytic converters, exhaust system, PCV system, air and fuel filters, brake pads, transmission fluid, and other ICE maintenance items with the electric drivetrain. At 120,000 km I've replaced the tires once and the brake pads look brand new. That's it. Even the windshield wipers are still in good shape for some reason.
