It's not a happy guy, it's a regen icon. It consists of a vertical rectangle on the right divided into an upper square labeled "+" and a lower square labeled "-" to represent a battery, and an arrow on the left pointing into the rectangle to represent electricity being fed into the battery.

But won't electricity being fed into the battery make you a happy guy?

Chevy has said many times that Bolt has blended brakes. To my knowledge, only Tesla has pure friction brakes.
