I've seen chariots mentioned in a book on the Punic Wars. I believe the book mentions chariots being on Carthage's roster around the start of the First Punic War, and using that as an example of how their army was a bit outmoded. The book is called "The Punic Wars" but I can't remember the author - I think it was written in the 1980-1990 timeframe. I'll look up the exact reference when I get home tonight. I may be misremembering -it's been a while since I read the book.
