Is it possible to change the battery level indicator on the mini display to battery percentage rather than miles left.?

No, unless you get it down to 10% or less then it does it (and turns red)

Ok thanks I feel having mileage can add not of range anxiety as it's not accurate and goes up and down. Whereas having battery percent like mobile phone will be good as it will show how much charge is actually left

Absolutely, perhaps the biggest omission on the display IMHO. What surprises me though is the number of people who apparently didn't use the range function on previous cars and therefore understand the Guess O'meter.

I DON'T have my iPhone displaying the %, just the battery icon. If the level on the icon looks low, I can check the % in a menu. I know roughly how long it will last under normal use, can charge it at home, and other places if I need to.

I DO have my Apple Watch displaying the %, it usually lasts 2 days but it can be less sometimes. I can charge it at home, but not anywhere else.

I treat my car like my iPhone.

I have driven kia soul EV and Tesla model 3 and they all have the ability to change the view how you want battery usage / charge left is , seem on the id3 cant even customise the mini display much oh well minor gripe of mine i love the id3 but the infotainement system is a bit too basic compared to other EV's

I'm not saying it shouldn't be there as an option, that display in the ID.3 is VERY basic, the one on the latest Golf puts it to shame.

But I've learned to live with it.
