In one aspect, an in-wheel electric generator apparatus is provided for a vehicle having a wheel hub rotatably mounted to a non-rotatable spindle of the vehicle. The wheel hub has an outboard end portion and a wheel mounting flange inboard of the outboard end portion. The in-wheel electric generator apparatus includes a stator configured to be connected to the spindle so that the stator is outboard of the spindle. The in-wheel electric generator apparatus further includes a rotor configured to be connected to the outboard end portion of the wheel hub so that the rotor is outboard of the wheel hub and spaced outboard from the wheel mounting flange. The rotor is configured to rotate at the same speed as the wheel hub with the wheel connected to the outboard end portion of the wheel hub.
