Is there an entry in fstab for it? Maybe it is just not mounted? Otherwise, have a look at the output of gdisk (or a similar tool) to locate your efi partition.

The BIOS lists the bootable EFI partitions it found. Mine typically look like this:
---
~# l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 139264 May 5 18:55 BOOTX64.EFI
---
This is the default naming scheme that should always work. For everything else, you might have to set up boot environment variables (usually, efibootmgr is your friend there).
