The invention provides a scene adaptive evaluation method and device for gradient utilization scene of a retired power battery. The scene adaptive evaluation method comprises the steps of determiningan index evaluation matrix according to a characteristic reference index matrix of the retired power battery and a required index matrix of different utilization scenes of a power system on energy storage; determining a subjective evaluation value of the utilization scene on the retired power battery according to a subjective evaluation matrix; and determining an adaptive comprehensive evaluationvalue of the utilization scene on the retired power battery according to the index evaluation matrix and the subjective evaluation value. Subjective evaluation and objective evaluation are integrated,and the accuracy of an evaluation result is improved. The technical property, the economic property and the safety are considered, the appropriate utilization scene of the retired power battery in anelectric vehicle is found out in the power system, and an appropriate type of electric vehicle retired power battery is found out for different utilization scenes of the power system.
