Chariots were probably used to carry soldiers around an enemy force's flank. Even two wheeled chariots were pretty hard to fight on in open terrain. You couldn't really charge an enemy with a chariot. Chariots would naturally be slower than cavalry and would probably be vulnerable if brought in close proximity to enemy soldiers. Think of it this way, would it be easier, for an archer or spearman to hit a chariot, a fairly large and not really very fast target, or for a spearman or archer in a badly shaking moving chariot to hit a soldier? The theory the wall on the chariot was for protection is likely true
