Start the cav unit a good distance away and 'single right-click' on the enemy unit. If they start running right away youre too close. You want them to walk a little in order to form up properly. When they get to the right distance, they'll lower their lances and start the charge. You will only get the charge bonus if you see them lower their lances before they hit the enemy unit. If you know they are far enough away, you can 'double right-click' instead.
